It’s good to see this Climate Protest march on Saturday, 15 November gaining traction. Groups including USI/AMLE, @trocaire.bsky.social and @stopclimatechaos.bsky.social and many more are promoting it. It would be great to get climate on the agenda again.

My favourite part of the North Dublin Coastline at Bremore. Hundreds of finches, larks, and Tree Sparrow today, as well as Curlew, Common Scoter and Red-Throated Diver. And a reminder that Johnny Ronan’s company is in pre-planning stage to concrete this over and turn it into a Port!!

The FOURTH full house of the day with @miseanja.bsky.social and Éanna Ní Lámhna with @dublinbookfest.bsky.social in @tudublin.bsky.social.
I’ve been advised by John Gibbons @thinkorswim.bsky.social not to say that he “sold out” (but his event was completely booked out). Great to see the interest!

Oh good grief. @liamward.ie - that last Shels goal in the 8th minute of injury time was completely unnecessary. Could you not have settled for the draw, like we did?

In #NatureRestoration forums I’ve heard the aim, “Ensure that biodiversity gets the same standing in public, media & politics as climate” which strikes me as: 1. Setting the bar very low. 2. Identifying #ClimateAction allies as competitors.
Sport gets massive media coverage. Set that as the bar!!

Just finished A Wilding Year by Hannah Dale @wrendaledesigns.bsky.social
Hannah is rewilding her family farm and it fills one with hope to see the explosion in nature when given the chance. She’s living my dream! Beautifully illustrated - well worth a read!

Useful article in the FT this morning on MEPs having 2nd jobs. 4 Irish MEPs listed - FF, FG and 2 Independent Ireland. If Billy Kelleher was the FF candidate for #aras25 I hope he’d be answering questions now. #SpeirGorm

Watching Ireland play internationals can be mind-numbing. What a contrast with League of Ireland games! They’re always edge of the seat, nail/biting stuff! Good win by @shelbournefc.ie @loipdnews.bsky.social
